Two well-known and capable Democrats
DIR. J. c. Kreamer. of Lower Towamen-
sing, and Domnick j. O'Dounell, of Sum-
NIT Hill, announce to the Democracy of
Carbon county through the columns of the
CARBON ADVOCATE that they are candi-
dates for the nomination of county treasurer
and county commissioner respectively.
The former gentleman is capable and fully
efficient to dispose of the duties connected
with the treasuryshp to the full satisfac-
tiou of all the people. Mr.. O'Donnell, of
Summit Hill, is spoken of IN very high
terms by those who have an intimate ac-
quaintance with him, and there is no doubt
but what If nominated and elected county
commissioner he will make a lirst-class
public servant.

common sense must most certainly con-

THE Union Labor party believe that "the
means of communication by telegraph and
and telephone and transportation by rail
should be owned and controlled by the
people. as is the United States postal sys-
tenn, and equitable rates established" :"
Every socialistic or communistlc party that
has appeared for the past thirty or forty
years has advocated in effect the very same
principle. Strange as it may appear neither
the United Labor or the Union Labor par
ties advocate their right TO waterways or
the control ofsteamships. of Avery plausible
explanation may be that. because of the
German or European origin of soclalistic
and communisLic schemes transportation
and distribution by rivers and streams have
not played as important part as in this
country. This may also be the reason that
the Interstate Commerce law interferes
not with waterways

FARM AND
THE OLD brown scHooLHoUs4

THE Old BROWN SCHOOL HOUSE.
It stood on . bleak country corner,
The houses were distant aud few,
a meadow lay back in the distance,
Beyond rose the hill to orr view.
The roads crossing there at right angles,
Untraversed by pomp and array,
We're cropped by the cows In the summer;
I've watched them there many q day.
In memory's hall hangs the picture,
And years of sad care are between:
It hangs with a beautiful gliding,
And we'll do I love 1t, l ween.
1t stood In . bleak country corner,
But boyhood's young heart made It warm;
1t glowed in the sunshine Of summer:
Twas cheerful in winter and storm.
The teacher, O we'll I remember;
Ny heart has long kept him in place;
Perhaps by the world he's forgotten;
His memory no touch can efface. "
He met US with smiles on the threshold,
And IN the rude temple of art
He left, with the skill OF q workman,
His touch on the mind and the heart.
o, gay were the sports OF the noontIde,
When winter winds frolicked with enow;
We laughed at the freaks of the st0rm-king
And shouted him on all aglow.
We dashed at his beautiful sculpture,
Regardless Of all its array:
We plunged in the feathery snow drifts,
And sported the winter away. ..g- ,.,@
We sat OH the old fashioned benches,
Beguiled with our pencil and slate;
We thought Of the opening future,
And dreamed of manhood's estate.
O, days of my boyhood I bless ye,
While looking from life's busy prime;
The treasures are lingering with me
/ gathered in life's early time.
O, still to that bleak country corner
Turns my heart, in WEAKNESS yet,
Where, leading my gentle young sisters,
With youthful companions Imet.
I cast q fond glance DER the meadow;
The hills just behind It'll see;
Away in tho charm OF the distance,
Old school house, a blessing on thee!

water drank by the COW through her
mammary glands and conveyed in the
milk to human victims. We have
heard, too, of COWS afflicted with true
consumption in whose milk the specific
bacteria which accompany this disease
swim and swarm, and it is asserted that
these germs Of evil plant themselves in
the blood Of those who partake of the
milk. It is distressing to know that in
these ways 2 diseased animal, or infect
ed food consumed by a healthy animal,
or careless treatment of pure milk
might convert what should bea per-
feet food into a dangerous poison. And
now the doctors have sounded another
note of alarm. It is asserted that ga
COW which has furnished by a special
course of feeding an excessive quantity
OF milk beyond what could be furnish
ed naturally in the same comparative
time furnishes a fluid which has an
abnormal composition and which al
not be consumed bydelicate stomachs."
Has the time then, arrived when we
must distrust the milk produced by
high feeding, and when a strong grain
ration must be suspected as a possible
source of disease? If high feeding in
duces temporarily a fevcrish condition,
or any digestive disturbance, this will
undoubtedly influence in some degree
the quality of the milk. Noxious and
effete matters may thus find escape
from the infamed organs of the COW
into the milk reservoirs and thus CON
taminate in still another way this life
supporting fluid. There may be some
occasion for all this warning, and yet
We feel inclined to take our chances
and keep on drinking milk even when
no opportunity is offered to have a
chemical analysis made of each sep
arate draught., It may be a deadly
drink, but after all it is safer than
some whisky.

ECONOMY.

There should be colleges of domestic
economy for girls, where the proper
preparation of food, car of the health
and dwelling, and household thrift
should be taught. The State should
make attendance at these colleges
profitable, compel, it if necessary, and
the money thus expended would return
into it's Golfers tcnfold from thu fruit
full fields and well-kept homes. The
educated woman will recognize all the
physical and spiritual rights of her
family. She will manage mor eco
%nomically, govern wisely, and
work more advantageously, besides
having a better time in doing il.
Farmers wives should be stimulated
to interest themselves in the county
agricultural society, securing member.
ship, and then striving to have such
work done by the society as will tend
to the uplifting of the social conditions
There should be agricultural societies
worthy of the name, in which men and
women. being equally concerned,
should be equal factors. The society
should be aguild, looking after the
welfare of it's individual members; ii
should consider no home or educational
interest unworthy of its supervision.
The Grange might have been such a
guild had it not undertaken to manage
the politics and finances of the nation;
yet even this has been a great educate,
to women in districts where it has been
successfully established. The work
must be done largely by women, and
plenty of ways will present themselves
when it is begun. Nor will the hus.
bands of our farmers wives be often
found to hinder or oppose.-Mrs. c.

FARM EXPERIENCE.

I used to have to hunt up extra help
to plant my potatoes, and pay out con
siderable money. I put that money in my
pocket now and ride on the planter and
do it myself alone. have paid $40 or $50
to a man to hoe for me. Three or four
days work the harrow at just the right
time enables me to put that money in
my pocket also. Last fall I did the
digging-say $50 saved and no running
after help, no boarding of them, but a
dgood deal of independence and big
feeling, when I was sitting quietly and
doing the work of fifteen men with bent
backs and strained muscles. With my
81 seeder I can slip out and SOW before
breakfast as much seed as a hired man
would SOW by hand in all the day. and
do it perfectly. With my disc harrow
I can prepare potato stubble for wheat
in the best possible ann and at far
less cost than if the plow and common
harrow were used. I have tried all
these things and made money by them,
and know. It does not pay to put mus
Gle against machinery.-T. B. Terry; in
Ohio Farmer. -..
In my own experience it has been the
little things that paid me best. Ibegan
farming without capital, bought a farm
on credit and borrowed $1,000 at 10 per
cent interest to put up buildings on it
(for I bought bare land), and looking
back now, / do not see how it would
have been possible for me to have ever
supported my large family and paid my
debts had I neglected the little things.
But from the very start there was always
an abundance of eggs, poultry, butter,
milk, cream fruit and vegetables for the
family, and such a surplus to sell thai
store bills were rarely allowed to run
and as a consequence the money crop:
wheat and hogs-could be applied tt
paying the debt and when the day O
deliverance came and could, like Long
fellows blacksmith. .'look the whole
world in the face, for I owed not an,
man." 1t was little things that had tn
praise rather than the great ones.-W

THE CONVICTION OF SHARP.

The people of CHS city may well rejoice that
right has triumphed in the conviction OF
Jacob Sharp No trial of equal importance has
taken place here since Tweed was brought
to the bar of Justice He was tried for various
forms of thievery-crimcs Of much less danger
70 the public interests than that of bribery
There is reason to believe that this latter
crime has come to be alarmingly common in
our legislative halls But Jacob Sharp is the
first person who has been convicted OF it,
For many years he has been known as lobby
ist at Albany. and he carried on the business
with unblushing audaciy. His work there
and in the rooms of the Board of Aldermen was
only equalled in it's scope and boldress by that
Of Tweeds. That such a man should be finally
convicted, after having the assistance Of tho
best counsel that money could employ, is Of the
highest public importance. 1t will do much
to deter others from grasping after wealth.
and corrupting the sources of government by
tho perpetration Of similar crimes.
As to the fairness of the trial there Is no
room for doubt. The prosecution was con-
Quoted in mastery manner. The chain OF
evidence was surprisingly strong. and 1t was
brought out most effectively. Mr.. NicoIl and
his assistants are entitled to great credit for
their conduct of the trial. The closing address
of Mr.. Fellows was one well calculated to i'm.
press the jury. Judge Barrats charge no
doubt did effective service in brushing aside
any legal cobwebs raised by the defence. In
this as in previous "boodle7 trials, the people
of this city owe a debt of gratitude to Judge
Barrett for the ability. dignity and firmness he
has displayed. and for the patience he has ex-
hibited under very trying circumstances.
As to the defence submitted in Mr.. Sharp's
behalf, it hardly merits attention. 1t was adj
mitted that the Aldermen were brbed but it
was claimed that proof was not furnished that
Mr.. Sharp was party to it. No weaker de-
fence was ever offered and its abrupt end and
utter collapse. after trial extending over
weeks, mast have surprised the jury as much
as IL did the public. The prompt agreement
of the jury naturally followed the failure of the
defence 10 present anything substantial for it
to consider in Sharp's behalf.
Naturally there win be some sympathy for
Sharp because of his age and poor health. But
sympathy has no place when crime of such
magnitude is awaiting punishment. Some OF
the men whom Sharp dragged down to infamy
by his tempting offers arc already in prison.
1t Is peculiarly appropriate rrlt he should
keep them company and it will be fortunate If
his accomplices are soon made to follow him.
